Procedure Overview
Precision Laser Treatment for Redness, Veins & Pigmentation
At London Skin Clinic, we use the DermaV Nd:YAG Laser, widely regarded as a best-in-class system for treating red blotches, broken capillaries, rosacea, and pigmentation. Designed by Lutronic, DermaV combines two powerful wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm) to safely target both vascular and pigment irregularities without damaging surrounding tissue.

How the DermaV Nd:YAG Laser Works
The DermaV laser employs cutting-edge dual-wavelength technology to deliver precise, controlled energy beneath the skin’s surface, targeting specific chromophores while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
Advanced Dual-Wavelength System:
532nm Wavelength (KTP)
This shorter wavelength is specifically designed to treat superficial vascular concerns:
- Targets superficial redness and facial flushing
- Effectively treats thread veins and small capillaries
- Addresses rosacea-related redness and inflammation
- Precise targeting of surface-level vascular lesions
- Minimal penetration depth for gentle surface treatment
1064nm Nd:YAG Wavelength
This longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin to address:
- Deeper dermal concerns requiring greater penetration
- Deeper pigmentation issues including age spots and sun damage
- Larger blood vessels and vascular lesions
- Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Dynamic Cooling Protection System:
The DermaV system incorporates an advanced dynamic cooling system that continuously cools and protects the skin surface during treatment. This innovative technology:
- Enables safe treatment on all skin types
- Ensures maximum patient comfort throughout the procedure
- Protects the epidermis from thermal damage
- Allows for higher energy delivery to target tissues
- Minimizes post-treatment side effects
Selective Photothermolysis:
The DermaV laser works through the principle of selective photothermolysis, where specific wavelengths are absorbed by target chromophores (blood vessels or pigments) while surrounding tissue remains unaffected. This precision targeting results in:
- Minimal impact on healthy surrounding tissue
- Clearer, more even skin complexion
- Reduced redness and vascular visibility
- Improved skin texture and tone uniformity

Why Choose London Skin Clinic?
All laser treatments at London Skin Clinic are performed by consultant plastic surgeons with advanced experience in skin surgery and laser dermatology. Our clinic at 101 Harley Street provides a fully medical, CQC-registered environment for treatments that prioritise both results and safety.
Is DermaV laser treatment painful?
Most patients find DermaV treatment very comfortable due to the built-in dynamic cooling system. The sensation is often described as brief warmth followed by cooling, similar to a rubber band snap. The treatment is generally well-tolerated without anesthesia, though topical numbing can be applied for sensitive patients.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual skin response. Vascular lesions often respond more quickly than pigmentation issues, which may require additional sessions.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Yes, makeup can be applied immediately after DermaV laser treatment. However, we recommend using gentle, mineral-based products for the first 24-48 hours to avoid any potential irritation while the skin settles.
Is DermaV laser safe for all skin types?
Yes, the DermaV Nd:YAG laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones. The advanced cooling system and precise wavelength selection minimize the risk of pigmentation changes, making it suitable for diverse ethnicities.
What should I avoid after treatment?
After DermaV treatment, avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week and always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your treatment team.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and temporary. Most patients experience mild redness for 2-6 hours post-treatment. Occasionally, there may be slight swelling or darkening of pigmented areas before they fade. Serious complications are extremely rare when treatment is performed by qualified practitioners.
Can DermaV treat rosacea effectively?
Yes, DermaV laser is highly effective for treating rosacea-related redness and visible blood vessels. The 532nm wavelength specifically targets the superficial capillaries and redness associated with rosacea, often providing significant improvement in facial flushing and persistent erythema.
When will I see results from DermaV laser?
Initial improvements may be visible within 1-2 weeks, with continued improvement over 4-8 weeks following each treatment. Pigmented lesions often darken initially before fading, while vascular lesions typically show gradual reduction in visibility. Final results are usually apparent 6-8 weeks after completing the treatment series.
